International Amber Association (IAA)

Experts from the IAA laboratory conduct research and verify the authenticity of Baltic Amber, issuing certificates to confirm their findings. The IAA Appraisers' Committee is responsible for developing a classification of amber gemstones.

The IAA has collected an extensive thematic library and conducts various publishing and educational activities. It publishes the magazine Bursztynisko. The Amber Magazine co-created by researchers, art historians, designers, and artists. It is the only magazine devoted entirely to amber. In 2023, the Association published an album Baltic Amber. Nature. History. Culture., which presents the most important information on geology, chemistry, biology, history, art, and design.­

Each year, the IAA Gallery organizes exhibitions of works of art featuring amber. In 2023 alone, it hosted renowned artists such as Silvia Bellia, Arnald Jorda, Alberto Davila, and Miriam Arentz - the winners of the Amber Prize founded by the Association. The IAA has been a patron and sponsor of awards for many years, and its members sit on the jury of international art competitions, such as The Amberif Design Award, Legnica „Silver” Festiwal and the Władyslaw Strzemiński - Project.
